A Long and Short Haul Opinion.

The interstate commerce commits
sioners have finally rendered on opinion
ON the long and short-haul section of
the interstate railway law. AS an
opinion it may be of some value, but
as a decision it settles nothing def
initely, except that the commission will
not make general ruling on the suspen-
sion of the long and short haul clause,
but will examine complaints in each
case as they are presented and on their
merits. They state in the case of the
southern railways that it is not their
function to suspend the long and short
haul clause of the law until a formal
complaint of its violation has been
made. In the meantime the roads
must act on their own judgment and at
their own risk in regard to what are the
substantially similar circumstances and
conditions which preclude the special
rate. For the guidance of the rail-
roads the commission formulates the
opinion that more may be charged for
the short than for the long haul in cases
where the railroads have TO meet COM
petition by carriers not subject to the
act and where strict enforcement of
the clause would destroy competition.
1t mentions as carriers not subject to
the act certain steamboat lines and for
eign railroads. In short, the opinion
practically throws the responsibility
for the construction of the law upon
the railroads themselves, or upon the
courts to which appeals may be carried
In some quarters the opinion is con-
strued as doing away with the Reagan
ideas of the measure and adopting
those of the Cullom bill. 1t has much
the appearance of compromise of
divergent views, which will not satisfy
the extremists on either side of the
question.

their duty to forget his pension vetoes
and give him a respectful, if not
hearty, welcome at st. Louis or where
ever else they happen to meet him.
But il is probable that for once the
grim old warrior will find his orders dis
obeyed. The disabled veteran who is
making an unequal fight to keep out of
the poor-house, from which he would
have been saved by a small pension,
looks at Cleveland's vetoes from very
different point of observation from
that occupied by w. T. Sherman, who
has retired upon a generals pay
Manchester Mirror.
JOHN SHERMAN has done one service
in handsome style. He has smoked
the mugwumps completely out of their
holes. They have pretended ever
since 1884 that they left the republican
party and voted for Cleveland simply
because they could not indorse the per-
sonal and official character of Mr..
Blaine, and have diligently put forth
the idea that they regretted the nomina-
ton of what they called a bad candi-
date, that they were republicans still
and devoted to republican principles,
and that they could have easily sup
ported either Sherman, Arthur or Ed
munds. But now with alarm they see
that Mr.. Sherman is likely to be the
republican candidate, consequently
they have ceased to talk about Mr..
Blaine and have turned their batteries
of mud and detraction against the sem
ator from Ohio. Thus they acknowl-
edge the hypocrisy of their own pre-
lenses for the last three years and give
the lie to their oft-repeated assertions
of why they became mugwumps origin
ally.-Ohio State Journal.
THE dough-face, before the war, was
very prevalent and active in resisting
any agitation that would disturb our
southern brethren. He would crawl
lower down in the mud, and squirm in
it with more abasement, than any of the
pro-slavery memberhood. During the
war the dough-face was for peace at
any price, and after the war he wanted
to close the" bloody chasm " by throw
ing enough republicans and loyalists
into it that the opponents of the civil
war at the North and the participants
in that war at the South might walk in
triumph over their enemies. BY the
aid of deserters from the republican
ranks the cessation of hostilties, by
defeating the political party that saved
the country, has been accomplished and
the doughface again has his innings.
When John Sherman states it as his
preference that the men who made the
republic great and glorious should rep
resent it at home and abroad he is de-
nounced in the severest terms. In the
eyes of the dough-face, treason now is
to object to the policy of terrorism and
and fraud at the South by which the
democratic party wrongfully obtains
power.-BostOn Traueller.

The Sentiment of Vermont.

President Clevelands order for the re-
moval of the rebel gatherings captured by
Union troops to the capitols of the Southern
States created much indignation among
the members of the Grand Army who as
sembled last week at Brattleboro to dedi-
cate the soldiers monument. The an
nouncement that the President had revoked
the order did not apprecably lessen the
feeling. The sentiment of all patriotic
Vermonters on the subject was voiced in a
series of resolutions unanimously adopted
at mass-meetng of Grand Army comrades.
Colonel Hooker, in Offering the resolutions,
said that although the President had re-
called the order, the proposed action still
deserved rebuke. The resolutions adopted
are as follows:
Resolced, That while we earnestly deprecate all
attempts to keep alive feelings of sectiOnalism and
regard with most friendly feelings our late antag-
onists, we most sOemnly and earnestly protest for
ourselves ana in the name OF our fallen comrades,
whose memory Is so yiyidly brought to mind by the
from their present resting place the bloody EN-
blems of treason that cost many precious lives,
fully believing that such removal will do more to
keep alive the bitter recOllections of the than
anything that has transpred since its close.
ReSOred, That these resolutions be transmitted by
the department commander to he forwarded to his
eNcellency, the governor of Vermont, with the re
quest that the same be forwarded TO President
Cleveland.
The following is Governor Ormsbees note
to the President transmitting the resolutions
of the veterans at Brattleboro: " | herewith
forward to you resolutions OF large as

Letter from AlgOna, Iowa.

Editor Vdtchmdn:-The much-needed rain
has at last come to this section. There
never was a better stand of grain and corn
all through on our line of travel-commenc-
ing with the Grand Trunk railroad to
Chicago, thence over the Northwestern
through northern Illinois to Clinton, Iowa.
From there we went to Ames, where we
took a northerly course to this place. 1t
took us two and half days to come through
The great change wrought in this new
country is truly wonderful. The early set
tier has replaced the old house with a neat,
handsome and sometimes costly one The
old wooden courthouse of twenty years ago
is substituted by nice brick building cost
ing over $4,000. Algona is the county seat of
Kossuth county, which is one of the largest
in the state and runs to the Minnesota line.
There are two creameries located in town.
one making twelve hundred pounds daily,
paying about ten cents per pound for cream.
This county is destined to be rich and
beautiful one in the dairy business and
farming county, if it cannot already be
called such. a great many farmers there
are who keep from one hundred to a thou
sand head of the finest cattle to be found in
America. | forgot TO say that ! came out
here to see old friends and revisit the coun-
try. | find many who were here twenty
years ago still hale and hearty and as
cordial as ever. There is scarcely any mos
quitoes here now. The early pioneers had
to endure swarms of them. Potatoes look
finely, there being as yet no bugs on them
They are selling in Algona for 81 per
bushel, which ought to pay the Iowa farmer
better on this rich prairie than it does in
Vermont, with poor soil, at fifty cents. 1t
is quite warm here now, but not very I'M
comfortable. This town has several fine
churches and some of the finest private
residences to be found anywhere in this
western country. 1t also has many fine
shade-trees. n. S. F.

New Hampshire's New Senator.

Hon. William T.. Chandler was elected
United States senator by the New
Hampshire legislature last week, to
the general satisfaction of republicans
and the general grief of the democracy.
In the senate Mr.. Chandler received
fifteen votes to nine for Harry Bing-
ham (democraD; in the house Mr..
Chandler received one hundred sixty
five votes, Mr.. Bingham one hundred
thirty-siX, and there were five scatter
ing. The new senator was born in
Concord in 1885 and is a graduate of
the Harvard Law School. He was law
reporter of the state supreme court
five years, and for several terms was
speaker of the house. In 1861 he was
employed by the navy department as
special counsel to prosecute the Phila-
delphia navy-yard frauds, and on March
9, 1865, was appointed by President
Lincoln the first solicitor and Judge
acknowledgement of that department.
On June II, 1865, he was appointed
first assistant secretary of the treasury
with Secretary Hugh McCulloch, and
held the office over two years. Suisse
quently he acquired a large law prac-
tice and took an active part in the
presidential campaigns of 1872, 1876
and 1880, in the former of which he
was secretary of the republican ma
tional committee and in the latter a
member of the executive committee.
He rendered efficient service to the re-
publicans in the Hayes-Tilden contest.
He was secretary of the navy in the
Arthur administration, and his able
conduct of that department is well re-
membered. Mr.. Chandler is a man of
positive convictions, with abundant
courage to act up to them. He is a
vigorous and forcible speaker, full of
! information and experience, and will

merous meetings of Grand Army and
veterans organizations expressed dis
approval of the proposed act, and
Governor Foraker of Ohio sent to the
President the protest of the thirty-nine
thousand veterans of that state against
/ the return of the rebel flags captured
by Ohio regiments. Proceedings to Sc
cure an injunction from the United
States supreme court, forbidding the
secretary of war to let these flags go
from his custody, were commenced by
General Boynton in behalf of the
Grand Army, and ex-senator Boutwell,
of Massachusetts, and ex-Congressman
Shellabarger of Ohio were retained to
argue the matter. But the protests
and denunciations that poured in from
the Northern States had a wholesome
effect upon the administration, for on
Thursday last the President sent let
ter to the secretary of war resembling
his approval of the war departments
proposition and taking the ground,
which he might well have done in the
outset, that the return of the flags in
the manner contemplated is not au-
thorized by existing law nor justified
as an executive act. Nothing less than
an act of congress can lawfully restore
these flags to the rebel states, as was
maintained in this journal last week.
But for the necessity of congressional
action and the vigorous protests against
the proposition, the administration
would have carried out its purpose.
The act would have been in entire
harmony with other acts of the Presi-
dent to win the favor of the " solid
South for his second-term scheme.
The revocation of his order comes too
late to prevent serious injury to his po-
litical prospects in the Northern States.
The people are beginning to realize
that this administration, which claims
to represent national party" is
conducted for the interest of a section
rather than for the interests of the
whole country; or, as a prominent
naval officer recently remarked, this
administration has begun where Blu
chanan's left off"

The Rebel Battle.Flags.

A Washington special says: while it
is emphatically denied at the White House
that the subject was discussed by the cabi-
net before the order to return the rebel
flags was given, it is charged in other
quarters with almost equal emphasis that
the cabinet did discuss the question at
length 1t is alleged by very good authority
that Mr.. Endicott brought the matter up at
a cabinet meeting and urged the adoption of
General Drums recommendation; that all
the members of the cabinet, with one ex-
ception, favored the return of the flags
The exception was Postmaster-general
Villas, who served in the Union army. He
did not think it would be polite move,
but gave in to his associates. 1t is also
asserted that Mr.. Bayard was the most en-
thusiastic on the subject, even going so far
as TO assure the President that the eXecu-
ton of the order would make him a name
that would live forever. The legality of the
step was referred to the Encouragement,
who gave it as his opinion that there was
nothing in the law to prevent it. The true
story of how the order came to be issued
never will be known. Those who are
familiar with the Presidents habits, how
ever, say he would not have decided such
an important matter without consulting his
cabinet. Adjutant-general Drum said re-
peatedly before the President rescinded the
order that the matter had been fully dis
cussed by the cabinet"
